I have a xp box with two NICs. One network Card is setup
with a dhcp server for the internal LAN/firewalled. The
other network interface card is set up for my Internet
connection not behind the firewal (static ip). No matter
what I do, internet traffic defualts to the DCHP nic.
Even when I bind a program (ftp telnet etc..) it works
maybe once then uses the DHCP nic. Is there a way I can
change this/fix this? Can I change the defualt internet
connection? I tried Load Balance and that doesnt seem to
work either.

Thanks alot
Ray
 
Hi Ray,

It sounds like your DHCP server is assigning the XP box a default gateway.
Change the DHCP server's scope to not assign a default gateway to the
client.

Thanks,
